Marvel & Me (No Spoilers I Promise!)

I suppose you could say I really got into Marvel movies when I saw
Thor last year at the cinema and it really blew me away. It's hard for
me to even describe what it is I liked about it, I just sat with my eyes
wide open for the duration and soaked it all up!

I had really enjoyed Iron Man and Iron Man 2 but it hadn't really clicked until then.

I then went to see X-Men: First Class and Captain America: The First Avenger and I knew that I was hooked!

Slowly momentum started to build for this year's biggy, The Avengers,
and I've been looking forward to it ever since. (If you didn't know
already, always hang about for the end credits)!

A couple of weeks ago I went to buy my first actual comic books! I
had no idea what to buy, there's so much choice, but I went for The
Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week because I recognised the characters
and I knew it would relate to the film that was coming out. It has four
parts and is very recent so I knew I could get them all. I bought the
first three and still have one to get as it hadn't been released at that
point.

The Avengers (or Avengers Assemble as it's know over here due to a
popular TV series from the 60s) was released in the UK last night and I
rushed into the cinema after work to meet up with two friends to see it.

I won't spoil it for anybody (as promised!) but it was AMAZING! It
was all I expected and more, and I sat with the same wide eyes I'd had
for Thor, X-Men and Captain America.

These films are made for the big screen, so go and see Avengers at
the cinema if you can. And remember, stick around for the credits!
